Grade:6 Unit:4 Week:2 Content: Write and Graph Inequalities Dates: 1/28-2/1
Theme Essential Question:How can you use numerical and algebraic expressions, equations, and inequalities to solve real life mathematical problems?

Essential Questions:
  • Can students write an inequality to represent a situation?
  • Can students represent the solutions of algebraic inequalities on a number line?

Standards
  • CC.6.EE.8 Reason about and solve one-variable equations and inequalities.Write an inequality of the form x>c or x<c to represent a constraint or condition in a real-world or mathematical problem. Recognize that inequalities of the form x > c or x < c have infinitely many solutions; represent solutions of such inequalities on number line diagrams.

Objectives
  • Students will write algebraic inequalities.
  • Students will represent solutions of algebraic inequalities on number line diagrams.

The process of translating between mathematical phrases and symbolic notation will also assist students in the writing of equations/inequalities for a situation. This process should go both ways; Students should be able to write a mathematical phrase for an equation[/inequalities]. Additionally, the writing of equations[/inequalities] from a situation or story does not come naturally for many students. A strategy for assisting with this is to give students an equation[/inequality] and ask them to come up with the situation/story that the equation[/inequality] could be referencing.

Highly Recommended: The Illustrative Mathematics Project offers guidance to states, assessment consortia, testing companies, and curriculum developers by illustrating the range and types of mathematical work that students will experience in a faithful implementation of the Common Core State Standards. The website features a clickable version of the Common Core in mathematics and the first round of "illustrations" of specific standards with associated classroom tasks and solutions.
